My first square was Dana Hurt (photo taken while blocking). The block is broken into five individual charts and a garter stitch border. None of the charts proved to be significantly challengeing once I got my charts and stitch markers arranged properly (more on that technique on a later date). I did make one cabling error that I didn't catch, which I fixed afterwards. If you can't find it, I'm not telling.

The only part of this block that bothered me quite a bit was that I noticed that the right side eyelet motif seemed to be looser than the left no matter how careful I was. Blocking helped even out the situation a little. But when I consulted the pictures in my pattern I noticed that it too was a little looser on the right, which leads me to believe that it's just the nature of the pattern and only I (and now you) will notice. This pattern did not indicate the type of cast on, so I've decided that I will use a provisional one whenever possible in hopes that having live stitches to work with will make sewing up a little easier and faster.
